Through the hidden camera investigation they discovered many retailers will accept returned and used underwear and bathing suits and sell them again as if they were new without a problem.

A woman who has worked at three different Victoria’s Secret stores told The Today Show that employees will accept returned underwear and put it back on the sales floor, even though it may have been used. She also said if a product comes back as returned and it has an odor to it, they will put the garment on a hanger, hang it up overnight so the odor has time to get out and then they’ll put it back on the sales floor the next day. Disgusting!

The stores subjected to the investigation were Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Victoria’s Secret, Saks Fifth Avenue, Gap, Express and J.Crew. The Today Show bought lingerie and bikinis at each store, ripped off the tags and the protective lining, marked the inside tag with two black dots, waited a week and then went to each store to return the items. Every store accepted the items back and gave a full refund. Later, they checked to see if they could spot their marked undies on the sales floor and found them at every store except for Saks, J.Crew and Express.

We mentioned that the brand was planning to end the Intimissimi line in their stores, and it seems like our fear has become reality.

I am not located in the United States myself, but after checking with some of my friends, it appears quite a few Victoria’s Secret stores that used to carry Intimissimi have recently stopped stocking it. Reader Lucia let us know this is already the case in her VS-store in Oregon, but apparently this is happening in most Victoria’s Secret locations…

Can anyone confirm this? I tried contacting Victoria’s Secret myself, but they’re extremely quiet…

The huge selection includes everything from an animal print monokini to a topless bikini that comes with a removable bandeau top.

To bring yourself good luck this year, click here to read the details and then check out these pretty yellow knickers you might want to wear. We only chose ones that you have a chance of finding in-store in the next couple days (depending on which shops are around you), so there are no online-only brands here!  Click the images to visit the retailers’ websites.

Is it Pretty? Frilly? Feminine? Maybe. But what about adventure? If you’ve seen the new Victoria’s Secret holiday commercial, you might have thought you were watching a movie trailer for an intense action flick full of explosions, helicopters and gorgeous models in lingerie. But no, the Angels are not coming out with an adrenaline-inducing movie, it’s just a new and exciting way to promote the brand’s lingerie. Director Michael Bay, whose body of work includes The Transformers movie empire, Pearl Harbor and Armageddon, shot the thrilling commercial.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the wild commercial below and let us know what you think!

Kylie Bisutti, a 19-year-old Californian beauty, was crowned as Victoria’s Secret newest Angel at the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which aired December 1st on CBS, beating out thousands of other women vying for the coveted title.

At the beginning of the show, ten lucky contestants were still in the running to become the new Angel, and in the end it was down to Bisutti and Jamie Lee Darley, another Californian. Based on a nationwide online vote, Bisutti took home her new pair of wings and by the look of the picture above, she was not expecting it!

Below are the top 10 contestants. Based on looks alone, do you think Kylie was the rightful winner? (Images via CBS.com)

One of the options is the new “Miraculous Push-up” by Victoria’s Secret. Not only does it instantly add two cup sizes to the breasts, VS also says the contrast will give the illusion of a smaller waist. The bra comes with convertible straps, so it can be worn under strapless, backless and halter dresses.

Pink Jubilee, Sizes AA-DD. (U.S. sizes) $45.

A second option is Ultimo’s new “Day-Night Bra,” which also claims to add two cup sizes in seconds. The bra comes with two insertable silicone pouches that can be removed during the day while you’re at work, and then put back in later if you’re headed out and want that extra volume.

Black plunge. Sizes 32A to 38D (UK sizes) £24. Available at Debenhams and Ultimo.co.uk.

I wish I had more information for you guys on this third option, but I couldn’t find out who this bra’s maker is. I do, however, have a video illustrating exactly what this inflatable bra does and how you can increase your cup size into a B, C or D by the mere push of a button. According to some people on the Internet who speak a bit of Mandarin, the bra is called “She’s Mine” and it uses an advanced Japanese-developed technology, which they call “God’s hand,” to function.

Highlights of the show included the Black Eyed Peas performing, Heidi Klum showing off her post-baby body, Marissa Miller wearing the $3 million Fantasy Harlequin bra, and the induction of five new models into the Angel ranks (Emanuela de Paula, Chanel Iman, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel). The outfits fell into four categories: Star Trooper (futuristic), Pink Planet (hippie), Enchanted Forest (dreamy), and Romantic Journey (feminine). Of course, we have pictures!
